The Pilgrims' March/Mr. Asaf Ali
MR. ASAF ALI'S MESSAGE.
Mr. Asaf Ali, who was arrested on Monday along with 50 volunteers left the following message:
I am too ill to hope that I shall survive the rigours of jail life; but, I am proud to say that 1 have deliberately sought it for the sake of my conscience and my country. I have the profound satisfaction of feeling that I am, in my own humble way, fulfilling my duty towards the cause of Liberty.
Our bones may lie bleaching in obscure dungeons, built of sand and maintained with our nation's money, but over our unknown graves shall rise the noble edifice of our country's Freedom. We can vanquish the sin of selfishness and the crime of violence by selflessness and the negation of violence. Suffering innocence has God's own might on its side.
